Description
This wall-hanging pocket is worked in a dense single crochet stitch that gives it good structure while remaining soft. A circular opening at the top fits snugly around a standard wall outlet and charger plug, allowing the cable to pass through while the phone rests safely in the lower pocket. A bright orange flower with a yellow centre and green leaves is sewn onto the front for a sweet, decorative touch. Perfect for bedside tables, desks, or any outlet where you want a tidy charging spot.

Pattern Notes
- The pocket is worked from the bottom up in rows or as a flat piece that is folded and seamed.
- The circular opening at the top is created by skipping stitches or working a chain space large enough for the charger plug.
- The flower is made separately and sewn on after the main piece is complete.
- A firm tension helps the pocket keep its shape when hanging.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Main Body: With beige yarn, chain the desired width and work single crochet rows until the piece is tall enough for the phone pocket plus the upper section.
- Pocket: Fold the lower portion upward and sew the side edges to form the phone pocket.
- Outlet Opening: Near the top, create a circular or oval opening large enough for the charger plug to pass through.
- Top Edge: Finish the top edge neatly so it sits flat against the wall and outlet.
- Flower: Crochet a simple flower with orange petals, yellow centre and green leaves. Sew it onto the front of the pocket.
- Finishing: Weave in all ends and gently block if needed.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring or scrub the flower. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
